After the bid process was concluded the area ended up with 27 renaming leave slots for 2017. We were not able to add them to any day where 3 slots were already taken/bid. Starting with the first available day in June a slot was added until 27 slots were filled for the year. The dates where a slot was added are as follows.

What does this mean for me? Basically if you are the first web schedule request for any of the dates above it is considered a pre-approved leave opportunity per Article 24 Section 12 of the Contract. Keep in mind the request has to be made 30 days prior to publication for it to be pre-approved.
Article 24 section 12
"Any remaining pre-approved leave opportunities that were not selected during the bidding process will remain available until thirty (30) days prior to the posting of the watch schedule and shall be approved in the order in which they are received."
If there are any questions please feel free to contact me.
